Why the Saints bounty penalties are too harsh

I agree 100% except for the vengeance part. I don't think the NFL really cares. This would have been a slap on the wrist, even with the cover up, except for the fact that the league is making every effort it can to show it cares about the safety of the players.

Even though the league fought the players on safety during the last round of CBA negotiations - even though the league wants 18 games, a clear increased player risk. The league needs to be able to stand up in court and "say" it cares.

Any right-thinking person can see it's about money and has nothing whatsoever to do with player safety.
